modern grief is rubbish

If I get knifecrimed,Think only this of me:I dont want a Facebook groupSet up in my memory.

Send all your platitudes,empty or otherwise,to me in a letter, while I am still alive,So I can reflect contentedly,On how you’ll always remember me,and how fully I have lived my life to date,etc. etc.

And If I get credit crunched to death,dont send your love to my family by SMS,come to the funeral,for some old fashioned grief.And as they lower my bodyInto a very real grave,Say a little goodbyein your best black suit and tie.

i agree with beast i love the contrast between death and the comic look at facebook groups n stuff..totally agree..all the new technology meant for communication just makes us more distant from one another than ever ironically
